FROM VOLKSWATCH:
VW Of America this week launched TDI Truth And Dare, what it calls "an unedited consumer blog forum" that boasts lots of great content and interactive features. Americans typically have a poor opinion of diesel engines, and for good reason - yesterday's oil-burners were noisy, smelly and generally unrefined. Today, none of those traits would accurately describe the modern diesel engines from any number of European automakers, including Volkswagen. To help spread the word that new diesels can't be compared with their predecessors, VW has launched a new "unedited consumer blog forum called TDI Truth & Dare."
The site is designed to debunk diesel myths and raise the fuel miser's profile — and sales, of course — in the USA.
Highlights include Diesel Finder, Savings Calculator, plus Tank Wars — the latter challenging TDI diesel drivers to beat the Guinness world record of 58 miles per gallon set by John and Helen Taylor in September 2008. Tank Wars has a live leaderboard to keep track and show rankings.
